The NHL has a "Plan B" for the Phoenix Coyotes: Seattle, according to Hockey Night.

During Saturday night’s Hotstove segment, it was revealed the Vancouver Canucks, after recently announcing plans to move their AHL affiliate cross-continent to Utica, N.Y., attempted to place their minor-league club in Seattle.

Instead, the Canucks were told Seattle’s Key Arena wasn’t available for hockey, leading some to put two-and-two together.

Hockey Night reported during Game 2 of the Stanley Cup final that investors Ray Bartoszek and Anthony Lanza will purchase the ‘Yotes for $220 million if the City of Glendale fails to reach a deal with Renaissance Sports and Entertainment.

If the Coyotes are forced to exit Jobing.com Arena, it’s believed Jeremy Roenick will be involved in some capacity with Seattle’s front office.

Although Sportsnet reported late last week that a handshake deal exists between Renaissance and the City of Glendale, a make-or-break council meeting on June 25 will likely determine if the Coyotes will receive the subsidies they need to continue playing in Arizona.
